According to Samsung's press release, the chip is "already in production... [and] is scheduled to be adopted first into Samsung's next Galaxy smartphone that will officially be announced in May. Samsung's Exynos 4 Quad is also sampling to other major handset makers". This is indicative of the fact that at least one smartphone with the Exynos 4 quad-core chip would be shown at the event. This corresponds with a video shot by Vietnamese site, Tinhte, which purports that the device will be powered by a quad-core 1.4GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 8-megapixel camera, 16GB of storage plus microSD capability.

The Exynos 4 Quad chip is also said to "double the processing power at a 20 percent lower power bill over its predecessor, the 45nm process-based Exynos 4 Dual". Throw in the fact that earlier GPU benchmark results that were leaked positioned it ahead current competition including the latest Tegra 3 and Adreno 225 GPUs by a fair amount, only losing out to the new iPad's quad-core PowerVR SGX543MP4 GPU - the flagship Samsung Galaxy SIII most likely will be carrying a quad-core processor. Well, we keep our fingers crossed, at least till next week when the details have been officially announced.
